Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1085

Chapter 1085 -1079: Dilemma

Cheng Yuanzhi’s loud voice faintly reached Li Tianfu’s ears, and Li Tianfu was utterly humiliated. He shouted, “Will you Zhou people release the person or not?! If not… it means declaring war on Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom. Now that the Elephant Army is at your gates, are you really going to ignore the lives of your Zhou people, just to protect a foreign traitor?!”

Upon hearing this, Sima Ping raised his eyebrows, feeling that this spoiled Princess of Xiliang wasn’t as brainless as the rumors suggested. He chuckled softly, “Such words are quite damning…”

“What?” Lu Yuanpeng turned back to look at Sima Ping.

Sima Ping raised his hand and pushed Lu Yuanpeng’s head back, instructing him to focus on the outside of the city walls, “You just keep an eye on those Elephant Troops and think of how to deal with them, that would be a great merit!”

As soon as Sima Ping finished speaking, they heard a repeated call of “Your Majesty” from the staircase of the city wall. Shen Kunyang and Cheng Yuanzhi quickly turned to greet the entrance of the city wall.

“Young General Bai! Fifth Young Master!” Cheng Yuanzhi exclaimed nervously, then remembered they were outside and quickly said, “Why have Your Majesty and Fifth Young Master come! With such a wind and snow, it’s enough having us here!”

“Indeed…” Shen Kunyang, worried about Bai Qingyan’s health, and due to Bai Qingyan being under his command in the past, spoke up, “Your Majesty, now that you’re in a delicate condition, you should be more prudent. It’s too chaotic here. What if a fight breaks out and harms Your Majesty? Fifth Young Master… it’s better to escort Your Majesty back first.”

“No worries, Uncle Shen. A fight won’t break out.” Bai Qingyan inquired, “Have they stated their purpose?”

“Your Majesty, it’s that Xiliang Princess Li Tianfu. She claims to be here for the Xiliang traitor Li Zhijie…” Lu Yuanpeng quickly squeezed to Bai Qingyan’s side and reported.

“Li Zhijie really knows how to cause trouble!” Bai Qingyan turned and instructed the Bai family’s guard beside him, “Go inform Li Zhijie and let him see the trouble he’s brought upon Zhou!”

A cold smile formed on Bai Qingyan’s lips, though his anger remained unabated. Capturing the Xiliang traitor… involved surrounding Xiaosi and Qingzhu. If it weren’t for the Bai family guards fighting desperately to protect them, Xiaosi and Qingzhu would likely have fallen into Li Tianfu’s hands by now.

“Cheng Yuanzhi!”

“At your command!” Cheng Yuanzhi clasped his fists.

Bai Qingyan gazed coldly at the snow-filled sky and said in a clear voice, “Immediately exit from the East Gate with fifteen thousand Bai family troops. Circle behind the Xiliang army and Tianfeng Kingdom’s forces. If a fight really breaks out, make sure they can’t return, lest they think Zhou is an easy target! Be swift!”

“I obey!” Cheng Yuanzhi accepted the command and rushed downstairs with Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng.

Bai Qingyan noticed Wang Qiulu, who was about to leave with Cheng Yuanzhi, and said, “Wang Qiulu, take six thousand troops out from the West Gate immediately. Do not hesitate to strike. Those who dare to come to siege Pingyang City today… shouldn’t think they can leave alive!”

Wang Qiulu paused, turned around, and looked at Bai Qingyan in disbelief…

Long ago, when Wang Qiulu rebelled with the King Xian of Nandu, it was a crime punishable by death. His father, Wang Jianghai, used the Bai family’s Fourth Master’s Jade Pendant to deceive Bai Qingyan into going to the prison, begging Bai Qingyan to save his life. Later… he remembered his father’s words to recognize Bai Qingyan as his master. Wang Qiulu helped the Bai family in front of the Crown Prince, and Bai Qingyan indeed saved him from prison, sending him to the Bai family army in the southern frontier.
